![]() ![]() ![]() The Glass Bead Game is my second Hesse novel, and I picked this one because it can loosely be called a science-fiction novel, and because it led to Hesse's winning of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1946. I was introduced to Herman Hesse by my Swabian friend, Thomas, who bought a copy of an English translation of his novel Narcissus and Goldmund during a visit to the medieval monastery of Maulbronn, where Hesse had studied as a youth and which was the setting for much of that novel (under the name Mariabronn). "The lesser man sees in the greater man as much as he can see." TLDR: 4 of 5 for a thought provoking book, though perhaps not the most riveting read. ![]()
